This work of a child never,fails to make appeal, to claim us,because it is always honest and sincere,always imbued with that magic certitudeborn of direct, spontaneous approach.-henry miller

So l have been invited to Singapore for two weeks to do a littleart project with many young children. I will be helpingthem make little paper dolls from newspaper, and l willdecorate a wall with stencils and other debris.

The interesting thing is the process, trying to come up withsomething that is pleasing and something that youngchildren will wade through.

This is newspaper and l used linseed oil to push the ink around.It sort of reinforces my echoing thoughts, that you don'treally need anything to make art, it is all at hand.It brings out the bricoleur in me.

your 'dolls' are incredible. and you are right about not needing much to create art-- do you know about James Castle? a deaf mute who grew up on a remote farm and had nothing but spit, soot and a stick to draw with on the back of old cards and papers--have a great trip to Singapore.donna

Oh my, i sometimes have the same problems as Caio, for writing a comment and it didn't end up here. :-s Grrrr. But my internet doesn't suck, it's me clicking the wrong button or something. Well i left a comment on wishing you a good trip and all. I'm a bit frustrated you didn't get that. Well, now i'm here to look if there's a new post because you're back and i wanna tell you welcome back dear Ken. I hope this comment will reach you. I loved this post a lot, i'm glad you had a wonderful trip, so i'm looking forward to your new post. Just like Woman in a window i also look forward to your great posts. Oh yeah, before i forget it; your three new guys are adorable. And like Caio i love the newspaper bear a lot!So, now i'll end this comment before i bore you with too much blablabla. ;-)
